“I don’t want to get bulky.â€
“Weights are intimidating.â€
“Lifting weights is for guys.â€
Be honest, ladies how many times have you said this to yourself when the topic of lifting weights has come up?
But when was the last time you picked up a bag of groceries? Or lugged a suitcase up a flight of stairs? Or loaded yourself up, sherpa-like, with a five-pound purse, a diaper bag, and then heaved a 15-pound kid onto your hip?
Breaking news: You’re already lifting weights every single day.
Building muscle has all kinds of benefits: Strength training can help you burn more fat, lose weight, build strong bones, and help you do all the heavy lifting that happens in real life.
[And let’s be clear: Hitting the weights and going into beast mode isn’t going to turn you into The Rock. Women don’t have the genetic makeup to get bulky like men, and even men have to train specifically to gain a ton of muscle mass.]
Seeing is believing, so check out these transformations: These women off ALL shapes, sizes, and age did Beachbody’s Body Beast program and lost more than 100 pounds and 70 inches combined and gained strength, muscle definition, and confidence. So, get the weights out, ladies, because it’s time to turn into a beast!
